How To Setup A Girth Hitch Anchor
In this episode, Mike goes over how to setup a girth hitch anchor and then tests it out to see if the hitch will hold in this instance.
There is no obvious or consistent way to know when a sling is degraded to a point of needing replacement. Always check slings before and after each use and replace as needed.

guinea pig testing earned you like and subscribe, good stuff!
That was fantastic! Loved the testing
Your content is much appreciated!!!
The test can be misleading. The girth hitch have to hold a factor 2 fall if the lead climber falls before the first protection point of the next pitch. Also you do not equalize the anchor for the direction of the second climbing up. You equalize for the possible fall at the next pitch up to the first protection point.
